Program Mission
Artists' Bloc 12x6 provides up to six artists twelve minutes each to present a section of their developing work to their peers and the public at large for written and verbal feedback. Works of slam poetry, film scripts, theatre, solo performances, and dance have all been presented by their creators in an environment free from public criticism to assist them through the development process. Major social issues such as race, economics, war, and politics have been addressed in a process that allows for the free exchange of ideas without personal judgment or reproach. In addition to addressing social issues and the development of new work, 12x6 also provides an opportunity for artists to explore new techniques, or to branch out into new art forms entirely, without the fear of public and critical failure.
